Fortunately, Jiggster, the Suns embraced it as well with a scoreless last quarter.

Backs to wall stuff was this game Jigster.

Our most in form player goes down early and then another in the third to make it 2 on the bench.

The team was dying a horrible, slow and tortuous death. Enter a few players that decided to have a crack, and what would you know, it became infectious.

I hope this is the start of more spirted showings for the remainder of the season.

What the fudge? You're the 2nd person to claim Webster is either our most in form or best player this year! Prove it.
I got the team stats sheet in front of my face right now, have a crack proving your point.

Do they have stats for vibe? He takes the ball cleanly and seems to always hit his target by foot (kicking effecincy?) which seems to allow him to take the game on out of the backline (meters gained?) Do they have stats for confidence? What about pressure acts?

When most of the players in the team have lost thier confidence Jimmy seems to have his in spades and by comparison to other well performing players in other teams that still might not be good but he's standing out in our team atm.

Take Seb for example, I reckon if you look at your stats sheet he's probably up the top but it was hard watching him for 3 quarters as he fumbled, looked hesitent and his possession and disposal was off. A totaly different player to last season and IMO it all comes down to confidence and Sebby transcends, and is symbolic of the curse that has struck down most of the team this season.

Get back to me. I'm keen to see how I went.

I don't want to be that guy but... that's 5 teams.

Using my impeccable grasp of logic and reason I assume you are not including St Kilda. They are easily the best performing of that group in the last 10-12 hours.

I dont have the stats in front of me but I would say that Webster is clearly one of our best players and uses the ball better than the rest. class above

Coach and players seem to think so - he was described this way in about 4 interviews last night. We really missed his run and attack in the 2nd - looked like a rabble down back without him.

Who do you say has been our best DL? Webster provides run and often hits targets 40-50m away. I agree with Cairnsman, he's been our best player this year.

Ok. I surrender. He is playing better than it seems. I guess hes like the reverse of Ross who gets heaps of stats but looks like he's bumbling ineffectually.

I like Webster. He was definitely sharp before he hurt his hand back a few seasons, I thought we had a new Brendan Goddard. Maybe I've written him off a bit when he had that little slump.

Of course having a HBF, however good, as the best player says a bit about the team talent spread. Hopefully Jimmy maintains or even improves but some others over take him.
